Xarelto Lawsuit Filed in Georgia Federal Court

Xarelto attorneys note a March 2015 lawsuit filed by a man who alleges that he suffered personal injury as a result of taking the blood thinner medication Xarelto.

The major risk of anticoagulants, like Xarelto, is severe internal bleeding. While older blood thinners like warfarin also include a bleeding risk, there are treatments that can be provided capable of stemming excessive bleeding. However, there are currently no such emergency treatments available for Xarelto or similar drugs.

According to the Xarelto lawsuit filed in Georgia, the plaintiff was prescribed Xarelto by his doctor for a period of three days, but he stopped taking the drug after suffering from a large hemopericardium/pericardial effusion (presence of blood in the pericardial sac surrounding the heart), which required surgical attention. The plaintiff alleges in the lawsuit that the Xarelto drug makers:

Failed to use reasonable care in marketing and promotion

Fraudulently concealed the true nature of Xarelto

Failed to disclose the inherent risks properly

Engaged in deceitful action when marketing the drug

Violated Georgia’s Fair Business Practices Act

Xarelto lawsuit attorneys in Georgia and other states are helping individuals who suffered severe and excessive bleeding after taking the drug.

Injured Patients May Be Entitled to Compensation

Drug makers have a duty to provide safe drugs. If there are risks of harm associated with their drugs, they also must provide adequate warnings. If a drug maker fails to fulfill this duty, it could be held liable for injuries that may result.

Patients who are injured by Xarelto may be entitled to compensation for damages, including:

Medical expenses

The permanency of the injury

Pain, suffering, and mental anguish

Loss of income or ability to work

If a patient dies from complications after taking Xarelto, his or her family members may be entitled to compensation for the wrongful death of their loved one, including:

Conscious pain and suffering of a loved one prior to death

Pain, suffering, and mental anguish from the loss of a loved one

Funeral expenses

Xarelto lawsuits filed in Georgia and other states are alleging these and other damages as a result of severe side effects from the blood thinning medication.
